The present invention relates to a game played with a kind of opportunity and strategy, and more particularly to a plate game using a unique type of dice.

There are many different types of game boards that have been patented or improved so far to provide entertainment for people of all ages.

One of the game boards that was popular among the American people earlier was described in US Patent No. 1,903,661, which consists of a plate with a constant passageway at the edge, and the game progress tool, or horse, indicates the direction. The cards are designed to move along the road, controlling the movement of the horse. The game is still in vogue and is sold under the trademark "SORRY".

Another popular game is the game sold under the "MONOPOLY" trademark, which is described in US Patent No. 2,026,032, except that the range of horse movement is controlled by throwing dice. Similar to the "Three" game.

Recently increasing numbers of adults enjoy BACKGAMMON, where a series of horses move across the board as the dice are thrown. As can be readily appreciated, there is still a need for sophisticated games that can appeal to viewers as well as game participants.

The present invention is intended for two or more game participants, and provides a game board in which a pair of straight paths intersect are drawn at the center of the bypass route and the bypass route returning to the outside. Each path has separate compartments to accommodate the end of the game. Multiple game words can be moved in separate compartments, each divided by the subjective arrangement of the players. Elliptical diesets cause certain numbers that are more frequent than other numbers, so an optional different movement at the end of the game can be made on the gamepath.

Originally, the game was an advantage in horse racing, in which each racer raced four horses on the amphitheater, and the first player to finish all four horses was the winner. The strategy of the game is an uneven probability element that adds the possibility of a shortcut, throwing a bonus, throwing a horse, unloading an opponent's side, and backing, the only backing, in throwing a unique dice. It includes. This eclectic play is thrilling and exciting, ending in a suspense. The objects and features of the invention, which may be referred to as novel games, are set forth in detail in the appended claims. The present invention, together with the organization and method for game implementation, and other objects and advantages thereof, will be understood in detail by the following description in connection with the accompanying drawings.

From now on, anyone who is skilled in the field of toys or adult games can make and use the present invention and decorate it in the best mode for which it was devised. Various modifications may be readily made by those skilled in the art because the generic principles of the present invention have been clearly defined herein in order to make game equipment relatively economical and easy to manufacture.

This game is a modified version of the ancient game, a game of opportunity and strategy originated from the Orient. The character of the original Oriental ritual was influenced by the opportunistic elements associated with the number 5 and horse races of cultural significance. The general objective of the game was to race four horses on the amphitheater, so that the first person to hit all four horses was considered the winner. When the game was played in the Orient, four bars were used to calculate any of the numbers from 1 to 5.

These rods were called so-called jabs and were semi-cylindrical made of wood of moderate weight, flat on one side and round on the other. The number of flats thrown by these sticks determined the value of the thrown. The throw was counted as 5 when none of the flat sides appeared. Thus, by throwing four jabs, four horses decided to go round the board.

In this original Asian game, the figure representing one is called Toh, which literally means fullness, and the word Back Toh is derived from this figure and corresponds to 1-1. This back-do was used in Yutnori after the Second World War. In improving the game, attempts were made to rethink and define the ruin so that it survived and without ambiguity, and in addition all aspects of the game were completely redesigned to fit well into Western lifestyle. Thus, a unique die set was developed so that each value was calculated with an appropriate probability. This die set ensures that no probabilistic changes that could have occurred by throwing each jab, as in the case of the original jab, would occur.

The game is divided into two teams of the same number, and the two teams alternately throw a die to advance their horses. The newly improved game machine 2 is shown in perspective view in FIG. In essence, the game apparatus includes one game board 4, two horse sets 6, 8 and an unusual die set 10.

Optionally, the storage container 12 can be made to be able to use the game board 4 as one side of the storage container 12. The game ends 6, 8 and dieset 10 can be stored in the container 12, and the surface of the game board on which the aisles are drawn can be attached to the container 12 inward to prevent grooves or messy surfaces.

Dieset 10 is configured as three elliptical dies of any color, preferably white, such as 14, 16 and 18 shown and a fourth die 20 of black distinguishable from them. Each of these dies can be made of plastic, for example, and the color can be chosen to your liking, or you can lengthen one die to distinguish it from the other three. On one side of each die is marked point 22 as shown in FIG.

2 to 4 show both sides and a cross-sectional view of one die, respectively. The geometry of the die body is preferably elliptical, and it is desirable that the die body has a good hand feel. This is because these phenomena in themselves become a factor that can increase the tactical choices of strategy and gameplay.

The die is shaped like a rounded circumferential side 26 and 28 which overlaps with the circumference 24. As shown in FIG. 4, it can be seen that the ellipsoid about the axis 27 penetrating the center of the vertical axis is a preferable shape when rotating. According to the experiment, it is appropriate that the ratio t / h of height h to thickness t is 0.385. Got to know Its material is preferably plastic, but other materials may be used.

In Figure 5, there is a table of the numbers that come out when a die is thrown and the probability that they will come out.

Of the four dies, die 20 is of a different color than the other three, so it can be used to represent negative-1, or white-degrees. Since this negative value is in a different color, it can be used to represent negative-1, or white-degree. This negative value is when the die mark 22 on the die 20 comes out only after throwing the die. Thus, by making one of the four dies a different color, -1 is added to the basic numbers 1 to 5, adding the probability to the set of numbers. The value of a set of numbers consisting of four dies containing one different color die is calculated by adding the number of points that appear after the throw, except when only the point marker 22 on this different color die 20 is the only point. do. The value at that time becomes -1 when one point shown as mentioned above is a point marker of a die of a different color. Also, when no dot appears, the numerical value is called 5, or 5 (Tasut: 5 in Korean).

In the table of FIG. 5, it is easy to see that the lowest probability (6.25%) is "-1", "4" and "5", followed by "1" (18.75%) and "3" (25%). ) And "2" (37.5%). This variety of odds, with different numbers, is the strategy of the game, and the odds of a given number add extra interest that is not found on the same dice.

To roll the dies 10, four dies may be held in hand and then thrown into a storage container, or a die may be thrown into a cup using a cup (not shown). Die 10 comes in various forms, such as where point markers may or may not appear. With the number of points 22 shown and the color of the die, you can simply calculate the value after throwing as shown in the table at 5 degrees. The values "2" and "3" can be calculated simply by adding the number of points 22 without having to consider the color of the die.

The rules of this game, which improved the game of play, are as follows. The game is divided into two parts, each consisting of one or more players. When each side becomes a group of more than one person, one person throws, then throws from the other side, and the next person on this side throws one after the other.

Each side will have four hands called horses, and the objective in this game is to start all four horses from the starting position on the track 30 of the game board 4 and move the horse counterclockwise to the end position. To get out of the game board. The first player to get the four horses off the board wins. Except for the back-degree (described below), horses always move counterclockwise.

Which side will throw first will be decided by the representative of each side by rolling the die (10). If you get the same value here, repeat.

First, the starting side rolls the die 10, and as shown in FIG. 1, one horse is placed on the game board starting from the starting position. The starting position is calculated as "1" and the next position is placed at the next adjacent position calculated as "2". Then comes your opponent's turn.

In the second roll on the other hand, the person can move the horse on the board or start another horse.

However, one throw should only be applied to one horse and not two horses.

If each horse moves and is placed at the shortcut entry position (32, 34) or (38), it must go to the shortcut the next time the horse is moved. Therefore, if the horse was in position 32, it must move in the direction of 36.

Likewise, if the horse was in position 34, it must also move in the direction of the exit position. Shortcuts may not be made except when the horse departs from the entry point (32, 34) or (38).

If the back-degree, or -1, comes, the horse must go back one step against the normal advance of the game. Thus, if the horse was in position 40, it must back one step and return to the entrance position. In this case, if the horse was in position 42, it must reverse one step and return to the entrance position. In this case, if the horse started at position 42, it would be placed above the central shortcut entry position 38, and the next time the horse moved in this position it would have to take the shortcut and move towards the exit.

If the horse is in the inlet position and the throw is one hundred-degrees, the horse retreats to the outlet position and leaves the horseboard as the next positive number, which is the fastest way out of the horseboard. However, if the non-positive back-does come out again and at this time no other horse is placed on the board, the horse must move back from the exit position to the entrance position. That is, the horse must go back in the on direction. This exceptional movement back to the entrance and then back to the entrance does not allow subsequent two back-turns to return the horse to its original position.

If the player has nothing to put on the board, and what he throws is a hundred degrees, this move is punishable because the horse cannot enter.

Once the horse is in the exit position, the horse can escape the horseboard when the next throw is positive. If the horse is in position (44) and there are five or five "5" s, the horse goes three spaces to the exit and leaves the board. However, if you have more than the exact number to escape the tablet, you can not apply a number that has not yet been used in another word.

If the movement of the horse stops at the position where the other horse came first, the other horse is removed from the horseboard. That is, "stop" and start again.

When the horse's movement ends at the position where the other horse came first, the two horses are combined as in the position (40) shown. Thus after the two words have been merged, they must be moved as if they were a single word and cannot be separated. It is also possible to combine all four horses, and if the horses merged by the opposing side are caught in the hall, all the broken horses are dropped off, and each of these horses must be broken down into separate pieces and must start separately.

When applying the back-do, or -1, to the combined words, these merged words must be reversed in the direction of the last word to be combined. Therefore, in the case where the first horse from position 34 and the last horse from position 32 are merged at (38) and the back-degree comes out, these merged horses must move backwards in the direction of (32).

In this case, the merged horses must move in the direction of 32 if the last horse is backed back at the (42) position as a result of the back-degree and back-backed again. For the last word is from the original (32) direction.

If the player unloads his opponent, or if he throws "4" and "5", he automatically wins the bonus throw. That is, the player can throw the die 10 again to make a second move. If the player throws "4" or "5", instead of moving this "4" or "5" right away, he withholds it and does a bonus throw, moving the value from the bonus throw first and then " If 4 "or" 5 ", this player gets another bonus throw right. He may withhold this second "4" or "5" before playing this bonus throw. Thus, this person can accumulate more than one "4" or "5" before making a bonus throw.

If this bonus throw is from a value other than "4" or "5", the player still has another bonus throw right since it is obtained by dropping the opponent off the board. However, if he uses his "4" or "5" to get the opponent off the board, there is no bonus bonus right.

The use of a die 10 with inconsistent odds of which number will be elected adds a new dimension to the game strategy that would not be found if a dice were created with the same probability. The player has the option to operate the four horses differently in the movement of a given trajectory of the die. Therefore, he will use the movement method to move the horse to the most favorable position not only in this orbit, but also in the next throw for better movement.

For example, it would not be advantageous to advance this horse if one horse was placed on the security at the shortcut entry 34 and the throwing value was "1". This is because "2" (37.5%) is more likely to appear next time than "1" (18.75%), so you can move to the shortcut entry 34. Thus he will apply that "1" to another word.

Players who are always mindful of the odds of various numbers will be able to win most of the games they are not yet familiar with. This is not the case if the luck of the throw is fixed, but the mastery of this game makes the game look simple but can be enjoyed by both children and adults.

Various modifications in accordance with the invention can be made by adding one more die. For example, if all five dies are of the same color with a dot marker on one side, then "-1" or "6" means that no "1" to 6 or "-1" dot markers appear. A numerical system of "5" to "1" would be possible. The value from "5" to "1" can be calculated simply by adding the dot markers shown after throwing. The numbers and probabilities of this system are as follows; "1" (15.625%), "2" (31.25%), "3" (31.25%), "4" (15.625%), "5" (3.125%) and "6" (3.125%) or "- 1 "(3.125%).

Also, by making one of the five dies a different color that can be distinguished from the other, it is possible to add "-1" to positive values from "1" to "6". Thus, when the dot marker of a die of a different color is the only point after the die is thrown, it can be calculated as "-1", and when there is no dot marker as "6". Also, values between "1" and "5" can be calculated simply by dealing with the point markers after throwing. The numerical value and probability of this variant system are as follows. That is, "-1" (3.125%), "1" (12.5%), "2" (31.25%), "3" (31.25%), "4" (15.625%), "5" (3.125%) , "6" (3.125%).

Preferred embodiments of the die and game apparatus disclosed herein are one of many different variants of die and games adopted by applying the basic principles of the present invention. In other words, a die set with a random probability and a strategic game that takes advantage of this non-uniform probability. It is therefore to be appreciated that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced elsewhere than described herein.
